Last night Marga made a cheesecake for tonight’s dinner party. The tiled cookie crust looked like photographic fodder, so I took a few shots. Just before serving, the dish that it’s in will be turned upside down, leaving the crust you see here on the bottom of the cake. I can’t wait!

Last night, I felt like watching a movie. I had four or five to choose from. I wasn’t familiar with any of them by name, so I looked the first one up on IMDB to get a plot synopsis, see the actors, and get a feel for the general quality of the film. [...]

Put yourself in her shoes for a moment. You come home from a hard day’s work, and find your husband, as always, in his office, working at his computer. You stand in the office doorway, exchange greetings, and start talking about your days. As you lean on it, the door slowly [...]

The photo I posted here yesterday reminded me of another “still life” shot I took recently, so I figured I’d post it here too. Something about the juxtaposition of a $5 bill, an expensive laptop, and a can of cheap beer seems oddly artistic.

My mate, Hubbers, pointed me towards an interesting new Web 2.0 startup the other day.

The other day I had a beer in hand and was looking around for a coaster to set it on. I couldn’t find one, so I had to make do with the paper I had just lying around the house.

First, a quick follow-up on my previous post in the “What’s the point?” series about Facebook. I’ve ceased to log into Facebook on any sort of regular basis. The same “you gotta sign up to see it” philosophy that I praised as clever now strikes me as the most repulsive element of its [...]

Just a few more photos from my trip to the Motherland earlier this month. Every day commuting back home from work, I’d seen some gorgeous sunsets and finally, on the last day of work, I decided to stop the car next to Lake Wheeler, climb up the dam hill to the water, and take [...]

We spent this past weekend in an intensive salsa dancing seminar in the picturesque Cantabrian town of Suances. The invited instructors were mostly from a Milan-based dance troupe called Tropical Gem. My videos of the dance steps we learned are not unlike the ones I took last year, so I won’t post them. [...]

National Grandparents’ Day isn’t until September, but I just saw my two remaining grandparents, and I thought they deserved a post.
